No wasted opportunities.
That's what Scott's been trying to drill in my head since I lost my job. If I want to make a career change, now is the time. In a sort of existential crisis way, I have been doing some heavy soul-searching. I can made the ultimate decision that I do not want to return to corporate america. I don't like it, and I don't fit in there. I have always been what my dad calls "artsy-fartsy". I need creative freedom or else I spiral into deep depression. I like change and challenge. I don't like working 8:30-5 with a one hour lunch that if I swipe in too early or god forbid, too late I will get written up. I don't wear high heels or business suits. My makeup and hair is never perfect. I despise cubicles and office politics. I don't want to climb the corporate ladder and step on people just so I can someday make a decent living. This isn't what I signed up for. I DON'T WANT TO CELEBRATE MY COWORKERS BIRTHDAY! Unless they are actually my friend. And I don't believe that I should show my boss more respect than she shows me!
No wasted opportunities.
This line of thought also directly conflicts with my fears. I need structure to be comfortable. I am afraid of not having a steady income. When I get frustrated, I want to give up and just take to easy road. Yes, I have a dual personality. I always have and maybe that's why I've accomplished so much in my life, yet feel so unfulfilled. Now is the time to take hold of my fears and live them.
No wasted opportunities.
Since I can remember, I have been obsessed with pregnancy, labor, and delivery. I have been watching the baby shows on Discovery since they started airing them. I've read numerous books. Had I gotten over my fear of medical school, I might be an obstetrician now. Well, med school is not happening, neither is nursing school. I can turn this obsession into a career though, by becoming a Doula. I explored it years ago, before I went to grad school, but the internet didn't have adequate info on it at the time and I was scared. It's time to take the bull by the horns. I'm exploring becoming a Doula.
No wasted opportunities.
I hate that I owe $57,000 in students loans, but I don't think it will be a complete waste. My education has made me a well-rounded person. My expereinces are teaching my what I don't want. Being an I/O psychologist has given me a valuable tool belt for both dealing with people and dealing with business. Not to mention, honed my training and public speaking skills. And I have something to fall back on.
